This was sent by a reader, in memory of the astronauts.

High Flight
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of - -
wheeled and soared and high in the sunlit silence.

Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,

Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod

the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
